My website turned white and all info is gone

Change your permalinks back. It’s set everything to look at /home-page. I would also check your general settings an make sure that the WordPress URL and the Site URL are going to your root domain.

Then, create a page for your home page and go to Reading and Change front page displays as, change to static and select the page you created. I think this will get you set up.

probably you got a warning that said your .htaccess file was not updated when you updated the permalink structure but didn’t notice it

put your permalink structure back how it was

then go to settings < reading .. this is where you set your home page, not the permalinks.

Thanks! But I can’t access my wp-admin at all… The site isn’t allowing me to get into my admin page…

https://www.faithbasedmedia.org/wp-admin — it just gives me the same white page as before…

ANy suggetions…?

Go to your .htaccess file via ftp (show hidden files)

Look for something like this:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

what does your say?

Where would I find that info?…

I mean… How do I get to my: .htaccess file via ftp (show hidden files)

are you self hosted or hosted on wordpress.com?

I went thru wordpress for my hosting. I chose dreamhost from the wordpress site for my hosting – and my theme from themeforest… I thought it was all the same thing…

that’s confusing .. so you PURCHASED hosting from Dreamhost? Yes? If so good, you can get to your .htaccess file … login to your control panel at dreamhost, click on file browser, go to the www folder, put a checkmark by the show hidden files (if it gives you that option) and then “view” the .htaccess file there

ok… sorry about the confusion… I will try it and let you know what happens… I hope this works. Thanks!

I’m back in action! THanks! ??

sure thing
